Verde Alpi Marble

Yes. Marble can be a beautiful and long-lasting choice for kitchen benchtops, especially if you value natural veining and character. However, marble is more sensitive to acids and can etch or develop patina over time, so it suits homeowners who are comfortable with some ongoing care.

Marble has good heat resistance, but it is still best to use a trivet or heat pad under hot cookware. This helps protect both the stone surface and any sealer or finish used on the benchtop.

Use warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner suitable for natural stone. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, wipe spills promptly, use cutting boards, and follow the sealing recommendations for your specific marble and sealer rather than using a fixed annual schedule.

The cost of a marble benchtop depends on the marble selected, slab size, number of slabs required, fabrication, cut-outs, edge details, transport and installation. For an accurate price, it is best to request a project-specific quote.
